Does SoCalREN cover multifamily housing, not just public agencies?

Yes. SoCalREN's Multifamily Direct Install program serves qualifying affordable and multifamily housing properties in SCE and SoCalGas territories, in addition to public agency facilities. Properties in disadvantaged communities receive priority enrollment. Enlighting Energy confirms eligibility and manages the full process.

Can a multifamily property replace gas water heaters with heat pumps at no cost?

In many cases, yes. TECH Clean California provides $1,000–$3,000 per unit in rebates for heat pump water heater installations. When combined with SoCalREN Direct Install coverage or utility rebates, the net cost to the property owner can be reduced to zero. Enlighting evaluates each property's full incentive stack to minimize out-of-pocket costs.

Does the property owner or the tenants benefit from energy upgrades?

Both. Property owners benefit from reduced operating costs, extended equipment life, and increased property value. Tenants benefit from improved comfort, better air quality, and lower utility bills in individually metered units. Enlighting works with property managers to coordinate installations with minimal disruption to residents.

Enlighting gave me all of the tools I needed to sell the energy project to management - arming me with paybacks, incentives and federal grants that brought payback way down and made it easy to move forward.
